Bad Santa 2

“*Bad Santa 2* doubles down on the abrasive, nihilistic cynicism of its predecessor, trading the original’s dark charm for a more relentless, mean-spirited brand of holiday chaos. While Billy Bob Thornton remains perfectly cast in his role of unrepentant grump, the film’s reliance on shock value over wit makes it a strictly niche experience for those who prefer their Christmas comedies served with a heavy dose of misanthropy.”
